The moment he knew he was in love
IT may have been a glance, a brush of the hand, a corny joke or many years of dating, when you finally realised you were experiencing the emotion many people desire, yet view with anxiety. Love, though hard to explain, is a wonderful emotion. But how do we know that we love and that the love is real?
Below a few men tell All Woman the moment they knew the butterflies were the real thing.
Winston Blackwood:
I realised after three years when a day without her was akin to hell.
Kareem Jones:
When I felt the size of her wallet.
Mark Walker:
I knew when I felt accountable to her. I felt complete. I could not keep secrets. It felt as if we were one unit, operating together and not separately.
Joseph Wilson:
I knew when we reached an all-time low in which I would have severed ties with other people if faced with the situation. My mom died, I lost my job, then my house was destroyed by fire, yet she stood with me through the trials and never once frowned or grumbled. She was strong for me when I couldn’t be strong for myself. That’s when I knew.
Matthew Brown:
It’s when I looked forward to doing little things with her such as gardening, cooking, grocery shopping and brushing our teeth together. Whenever I’m not sharing such times with her, it feels odd and awkward.
Kevin Dawson:
When I was able to differentiate between infatuation, being in love and loving someone. It was a simple conversation about her day, which was going badly, and she bared her soul to me. She cried and re-enacted the day through her emotions and I sat there feeling empathetic, laughing at the funny points and I just felt comfortable listening to her and knowing she had all this confidence in me. It honestly just hit me, like a jolt, and I knew from then that I could never hurt such a girl.
Martin Robinson:
I knew when she left to work in Canada. I called her every day to ask her if she was OK. I Googled frostbite, surviving in the cold and other things she was not used to, just to ensure she was OK. With her being so far away, I realised I could not rest well.
Rohan Williams:
I knew when she had my child. To see someone go through so much at my expense and bring forth life, how can you not love them? It’s difficult to explain, almost like trying to explain colours to someone who’s blind.
